Frigoboat is a trade name created by Eng. Franco Formenti in 1971 for his fridge designed to convert a yacht ice box into a mechanical fridge. The equipment was based on the concept of an engine driven refrigeration compressor, a sea water cooled condenser and an evaporator with holdover capacity. All the components were equipped with self sealing couplings and supplied pre-charged with refrigerant, ready to be installed, connected and run without the intervention of a refrigeration engineer. The first 30 units manufactured were supplied to the shipyard Alpa in Offanengo (Italy) founded by Mr. Cattadori.
